Autoresponder+ for ZC v1.3.x [support thread]

Hi,

Well it is installed but I don't see how it works. I've seen the instructions but they don't seem to show you how it works. So I have to install modules as well?

All I want to do is send an "email to a customer 7 days after the sale". I'm using COWOA so will it work with that?

I don't see any buttons that say send test email.

Can I use:Aftersales Email Module: WinBack Customer Reactivation to send my "email to a customer 7 days after the sale"

Thanks:dontgetit

Using 1.3.9h and testing autoresponder...

Two questions:

Order Status ID

The instructions state the order status ID can be a multiple. That's useful since we have modes 6, 7 and 8 depending on method item shipped.

How is that dealt with the in the 'post order status id' box?

The instructions suggest this is optional. However if nothing is entered the post email order status becomes zero and the order disappears from the order list in zen cart (I reinstated manually via phpmyadmin in the orders table)!

So what do you put in here when used with multiple options in order status id? Does 6,7,8 work there too? Probably not.

I suspect the only solution is a common status for post email orders - but the shipment method is important to us - a ready way to tell us how we shipped the item so we'd hate to lose that data.

HTML emails in test mode

Second issue is one I've noted in the thread elsewhere but has anyone cracked the HTML email in test mode thing. I just get text emails no matter where I send and no matter that HTML option is recorded.

Thanks

OK guys i have installed Autoresponder and it works great for preset one which sends an email 21 days after it is marked shipped!:smile:

Preset 2 and 3 are set to send emails after the order is marked complete and for some reason they are not sending!! The status ID is correct because i checked it in my SQL Database.:(

Anyone have any ideas? I do have TY Tracker installed but as the first preset works OK i wouldn't have thought that would be messing up the other two!

H People,
I', looking for a Zen compatible autoresponder that can collect prospects' names from a webpage form, deliver messages until the prospect buys, then take the name off the prospects list and add it to a customers list.
Can this one do that?
regards,
Andy

PS, I apologise if this question is in the wrong thread. I couldn't find out how to start a new thread.

I've been using this mod on 1.3.8, and it works beautifully. I upgraded to zen 1.5, so I reinstalled the files. I don't know if it's working, but it doesn't show up in the ADMIN > CONFIGURATION menu. Will there be an update for 1.5? Has anyone got it to work for 1.5?

if you like autoresponder+ you will love MailBeez, and MailBeez is under active development.

The recent MailBeez V2.5 download (mailbeez.com) is compatible with Zencart 1.5, installation is basically a drop-in of new files into your Zencart System. Hope this version will also soon be availble in the free addons section.

You could do this with a combination of e.g. MailChimp for the public newsletter subscribers and MailBeez for the customers. However what would be missing is removal of customer-emails from the public newsletter list - but that is doable. Just send me a message if you need support.

When I set the "Days After" to 0 and manually go to w_w_w.my-website.com/autoresponder.php an email is sent and everything seems to work fine; but when I set "Days After" to for example 5 no email is sent, even I do have several orders in status 3 which are 5 days old. I have this problem in both test mode and live. What could be causing this problem?? :blink:

Has anyone used this autoresponder from MagneticOne:
http://www.magneticone.com/store/Zen.Cart.Modules/Follow.up.Autoresponder.for.Zen.Cart

I'm wondering how it compares to Mailbeez. Mailbeez is so darn expensive, I bugs me they charge per module. I wish they would charge a flat rate for the whole enchilada.

Mailbeez is too expensive and to darn awkward .. way to much going on ...Now that I have found this mod I will be un-installing MB and keep trying with this 1 I have only been using it for 5 minutes and have gotten further than MB lol managed to get a test message out

Steven300:

In autoresponder.php, if you were to replace the following code (lines 693, 1366 and 2037):

$sql_insert_new_status="insert into " . AUTO_TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY . " values ( '', '".$result->fields['orders_id']."', '".$this_auto_post_order_status_id."', now(), 0, '' )";

> 
> with this:
> ```
$sql_insert_new_status="insert into " . AUTO_TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY . " (orders_status_history_id, orders_id, orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, comments) values ( '', '".$result->fields['orders_id']."', '".$this_auto_post_order_status_id."', now(), 0, '' )";

.. it would then work error-free and it would work fine as far as Autoresponder+ is concerned. The only problem being that no values would be inserted into the 5 fields of your other mod. Whether that would be a problem or not, I don't know.

I have Ty Tracking installed and just wanted to confirm that the above fix worked 100% for me. I edited those 3 lines and didn't need to make any other changes.
